"I should not be like this," she shook her head and ripped her hands out of Scarlet's hands gently. "Sorry, I should not have said all that, if the patients see me like this then they will become even more afraid than they are."

This was why mecha warriors were not treated from ordinary hospitals in winter, if the people saw the extent of their injuries, the veil of safety which had been carefully woven over their eyes would be torn.
